Describe the bug

I am trying to get amplify push notifications running on Android with React Native. Since I have integrated the package @aws-amplify/pushnotification, I can not get my Android app to build and run any more. The error message is:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

There had been already a bug filed for this bug it had been closed without a resolution to the problem just because of inactivity: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/4593

Expected behavior

I can build and run my Android app as usual

Reproduction steps

1. Follow the instructions https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/push-notifications/getting-started/q/platform/js for setting push notifications up on Android (alternatively also follow this guide for instructions about integrating it for React Native > 0.60 https://medium.com/@dantasfiles/setting-up-android-push-notifications-with-aws-amplify-e6334c6356d8)

Code Snippet

Just follow the guide https://medium.com/@dantasfiles/setting-up-android-push-notifications-with-aws-amplify-e6334c6356d8

Hi @chrisbonifacio,

Even further information - here’s my android/app/build.gradle:

/**
 * Set this to true to create two separate APKs instead of one:
 *   - An APK that only works on ARM devices
 *   - An APK that only works on x86 devices
 * The advantage is the size of the APK is reduced by about 4MB.
 * Upload all the APKs to the Play Store and people will download
 * the correct one based on the CPU architecture of their device.
 */
def enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture = false

/**
 * Run Proguard to shrink the Java bytecode in release builds.
 */
def enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = false

/**
 * The preferred build flavor of JavaScriptCore.
 *
 * For example, to use the international variant, you can use:
 * `def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+'`
 *
 * The international variant includes ICU i18n library and necessary data
 * allowing to use e.g. `Date.toLocaleString` and `String.localeCompare` that
 * give correct results when using with locales other than en-US.  Note that
 * this variant is about 6MiB larger per architecture than default.
 */
def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+'

/**
 * Whether to enable the Hermes VM.
 *

where ... are anonymizations.

Also I have created a dependency tree for maybe more information about the dependencies for com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher and com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm (just picked the compilation variant for debug exemplarily):

...
debugCompileClasspath - Resolved configuration for compilation for variant: debug
...
+--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:17.0.0 -> 16.1.0
...
+--- project :aws-amplify_pushnotification
...
|    \--- com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:0.6.0
...
+--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:{strictly 16.1.0} -> 16.1.0 (c)
...
+--- com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:{strictly 0.6.0} -> 0.6.0 (c)

Maybe that helps as well?

Hey @chrisbonifacio,

Thanks for investigating! One more important information- on iOS, everything runs smoothly and I can get push notifications delivered as expected. It’s just on Android that I experience problems.

Thank you and best regards The Smart Home Maker
